Social Democratic Alliance

The Social Democratic Alliance is a social democratic political party in Iceland that was founded in 2000. The party was formed as the merger of almost the entire center-left of Iceland, countering the liberal-conservative Independence Party of Iceland in elections. However, the Left-Green Movement left the alliance due to its adherence to Tony Blair's centrist Third Way policies instead of leftist values. From 2007 to 2013, it ruled as a part of a coalition government.
